Potter's Funeral Home, based in Bozeman, Montana, has given the traditional obituary a 21st-century makeover. Their obituaries are more like mini-memoirs, filled with anecdotes, photos, and even videos. It's like scrolling through a friend's Facebook timeline, except this time, it's a celebration of a life well-lived.

Take, for instance, the obituary of Harold "Hal" Jackson. Hal was a man of many talents, from being a pilot to a beekeeper. His obituary is a delightful read, filled with stories of his adventures and misadventures. It's like a mini-biopic, complete with a photo of Hal in his pilot's uniform. Now, that's what we call a 'living' obituary.

But why the sudden shift from the traditional, often somber obituaries? Potter's Funeral Home Director, Andy Potter, puts it simply, "We want to celebrate life, not just mourn death." And celebrate they do, with a modern, engaging approach that's more 'Here's to the ones who didn't fit in' (a la Hamilton) than 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust'.
